Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You've [G]got me on[Am]
[Dsus4]a string[D]
I don't mean [Bm]a thing to you
[G]I'm hol[C]ding on [G]to no one[Em]
I'm a [Am]long time lover
And my [Dsus4]long time love is gone[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]If my man [Am]beats [Dsus4]me, robs me blind[G][Bm]
[G]Long as he don't [A]leave me,
[Am]I don't [Dsus4]mind[D]
I would [C]beg and I would [Bm]crawl
Though it [Am]does no good at [Dsus4]all
My man's been [Bm]gone [C]so long
And [Dsus4]I keep holding on[D][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]And if he [Am]needed me,
[Dsus4]I'd be th[G]ere[Bm]
[G]No matter how he mis[A]treated me
I don't [Dsus4]care[D]
I would [C]get down on my [Bm]knees
[Am]Though it does no good to [D]please
[Dsus4]My man's [D]been gone f[Bm]or so lon[C]g
And [Dsus4]I keep holding on[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
Broken windows, boarded [Em]doorways
[Am]Choose your prison
When [Dsus4]I'm with [D]him
[Bm]I'm a fool for loving you
[Em]And well I know
How the [Am]head says – no
And the [Dsus4]heart says
Go down on [Bm]your knees, [C]woman
And [Dsus4]keep on h[D]old[Dsus4]ing on[D][G]

[Outro 1]
[G][C]
